Will Netflix soon no longer be available to anyone?

A change is expected soon that Netflix will only be available via Wi-Fi, and you'll have to log in regularly every 30 days. Stays abroad longer than 30 days will then also mean no more Netflix.

My boyfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship, but we used to share Netflix. That won't be possible now, especially since we both move regularly and independently of each other.

My sisters live elsewhere because they're studying. They only come home during the semester break. They use my parents' Netflix.

My boyfriend, my sisters, and I won't be buying Netflix for ourselves. I think Netflix has shot itself in the foot.

Of course, I understand that they don't want 10 people using one account. Still, I think the policy is bad.

Will the rule change anything for you?

If you don't have Netflix, this question is obviously not directed at you and you can ignore it

Hello,

additional fees are to be paid can be to continue making account sharing possible.

Netflix doesn’t shoot into his own leg. After all, they have to pay license fees or production costs for the films offered, and if more people run account sharing (which has been banned in the AGB since the beginning) Netflix will lose a lot of money through the “non-subscribers”.

Probably 2.99 or something per other account. There are no official costs for Germany yet

I don’t know we people imagine getting everything at the lowest possible price, but then scream at the best quality.

Netflix has a clear statement to share accounts. They have to do that. Get money for productions and licenses. Now they have found a great solution that can be paid in addition to a small price, but no one fits.

Well, I don’t think that’s true with the lantern.
The devices are connected to their own Easybox or router and not to Netflix.

but sharing one looks at the same evening in Hamburg and the other Berlin at the same time that will no longer be possible. I also shared Netflix with my cousin. I haven’t done it for two years.

If you like Netflix, you could clarify with your parents that they book this and you give them every month the money from your pocket money or you make a little student job after school. That would be a way to keep Netflix.

Yeah, that’s true, look. Other couples also share the fridge but couples who cannot live together cannot.

we have netflix at our tv home and gug at 95% there, otherwise maybe if we are on vacation…. that is why I am not.

but I don’t know why this is so bad with you when you have to log into the wlan every 30 days – someone is always home. either your parents on one account, or you on the other. that you can only look out of the wlan, I don’t think I’ve been implemented, because some people want to look out on the road ( holidays, etc).

btw – wlan is nonsense. of your own network – whether you are reading or using wlan doesn’t matter.

I believe it is about jmd to log into the account via home network (WLAN is misleading). So if any person (e.g. your parents) are always home, they also log in.

Otherwise, the parents have to keep in one of the profiles of your sisters.

I just did. then you either have to pay the surcharge or buy a cable to connect your handy to tv… (or use chromecast)

now I’ve read your work – yes, that’s what I’m doing. then the device would really have to pay 1x in the month after home.

I’ll try differently. you have an account with which you log in – and (probably) two profiles. one, your friend one.

I assume that the user account must be registered once a month at the local network (no matter whether or not lan or wlan). can make the tv, can make the notebook, can make the handy.

then the whole thing should not be a problem – because a person (dein friend e.g.) is always looking from home.

what else is it when they check profile or check devices. because you didn’t give a source, I can guess.

with the home network. you can also put your laptop to the LAN-Dose. I doubt that they’re putting it on the wlan – would be insane.

it is nonsense that netflix will only work with wlan. I’m just looking at the calculator, where should I get here when I have garkeins? there are no infos that change something like this.

I would then finally delete my account as I rarely use it anyway and the offer has become quite bad.

You can’t have everything cheap or free.

Music, movies, series, books…

It takes money to make these things.

If you want something, you have to pay for it.

I don’t go to the baker with two friends and buy a bun for me and would like to have 2 more for free for the others.

Netflix has nothing great for me anyway. So it’s not bad for me anymore. On the contrary, I have 5 providers, so I’m saving some money.

…and hasn’t done it today.

And I can also not imagine that Netflix is also only usable via WLAN. That would be the break for all mobile users – and Netflix would lose the bulk of their clientele. No company decides to take such a step. I think that something was misinterpreted.

For me, Netflix is not really suitable anyway. As a Swiss woman, we have to pay a relatively high fee for this, while at the same time the relatively small offer in the video library. In addition, I do not like the series philosophy: In most series, a sequence is produced and then simply set. Very few create it up to a real finale.

I don’t have one right now.

In addition, it would not work at all because my device is not connected by WLAN, but by network cable.

I think she’s just messing up. wlan or lan doesn’t care.

And the TV is in the Wi-Fi anyway. How is he supposed to get out of reach?
